Before WWI, there existed more than 3,500 cheese producers in Britain; fewer than 100 remained by the late 1940s.
The reason for this is that during WWII, and for nearly a decade thereafter, most of the milk in Britain was used to make a single kind of cheese nicknamed âgovernment cheddarâ as part of the war economy and rationing. As a result, almost all other cheese production in the country was wiped out.

I think they strongly believe they deserve it and continue to be quite upset that they had to pay a bit more for it 
My maths might be wrong but I think I work it out as costing about 3.5% of all the tax collected in the country (income/Vat/corporation etc) is paying the deficit between what public sector workers pay for their pensions vs what is paid out.
In non Euro terms - Itâs well over one massive childrenâs hospital per year or the funding for about 7 thousand additional hospital beds per year (staffed and operated)
No government will touch it, someone will have to step in at least phase out for new entries soon and convert anyone who started after a certain date into DC over time. Itll be a savage burden on the state in a decade or 2. Considering how young our population is compared to other european or westernised society
It changed in 2012 when the Single Pension Scheme came in for new entrants. Anybody recruited since then is primarily on a Defined Contribution pension.
